2001 Volkswagen Jetta GLX VR6 from North America
Summary:
Fast, luxurious, quality car
Faults:
This has been a terrific car. I have low miles on it though, only 20,000. Comfortable, fast, sporty driver, with the lovely VR6. Minor issues: Center armrest clip broke, replaced under warranty. Slight rattle in ashtray area, haven't bothered to fix. Rear rotors warped, I feel a slight pulsation on light braking. When I took the wheels off to inspect, found the rear pads will probably need to be replaced at 25,000. Fronts are fine. Otherwise, this car has been perfect! Am I lucky? I've seen so many horror stories. Windows, electrics, interior are all fine.
General Comments:
I am not a dealer employee or VW employee, I guess I am lucky I have a reliable Jetta. Solid build quality, and the paint is glass smooth and beautiful, even on the inside of the doors where it doesn't normally show. Interior exudes aura of quality. It helps that I have leather seats.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I own a 2001 VW Jetta Wolfsburg. It started overheating this morning. I checked the coolant levels, and they seem to be fine. Also, as the temp rises, the a/c cranks out warm air. I just shut it off, open the windows, and turn the heat on. Does anyone have any idea of what the cause may be?
